NHTSA Complaint #11092169 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

SINCE 11/2017, HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUE WITH SENSATION OF A VERY HARD SHIFT OCCURRING WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC FOR SOME TIME. THIS HAS BEEN ON BOTH HIGHWAYS AND ON LOCAL STREETS. SENSATION IS SO HARD, IT FEELS LIKE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REAR ENDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER RECALL WORK WAS DONE. HAVE REQUESTED EVALUATION TWICE AT DEALER AND EACH TIME NOTHING ABLE TO BE FOUND AS CAUSE. THE EVENT DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME SO SERVICE TECHS MOST LIKELY DID NOT EXPERIENCE IT. STARTING THE WEEK OF 4/30, VAN HAS STARTED TO BE SLOW IN ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM RED LIGHTS, INTERSECTIONS AND MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS. FEEL VAN IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND FOUND TO BE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. WHEN FIRST REPLACED AT DEALER, FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN VAN WOULD NOT START AND APPROX. 1/4 TANK OF GAS LOST ON PARKING LOT SURFACE. REQUIRED TOWING AND WHEN CHECKED O-RING HAD CRIMPED AND BURST ON NEW SENSOR. *TT *TR
